Phil Collen - 19th February 2015 Interview Quote - Read More
"It's the most exciting Def Leppard album we've done in 20 years. The rock songs rock harder than anything we've done before. You know anything period. And the pop songs are you know or the songs that have really kind of got great hooks and stuff on them. We went overboard on the backing vocals and you really kind of hear all the influences you know coming together on this stuff. You know we always felt that we were kind of a hybrid of Queen and AC/DC and that was the starting point and we kind of just progressed and this is a further progression on that."

"Yes I was just there actually in Dublin. Just a week and a half ago actually. So we're just - finishing touches. It's great. It's the best thing we've done, I think, for probably about 20 years. I'm really digging on this. It won't be ready for the start of the tour but it'll probably come out at some point while we're on tour."
